Important Notice Regarding Certain States

Please note: At this time, we are unable to process hotel booking requests from residents of or for travel to the following states:

  • California (CA)
  • Florida (FL)
  • Hawaii (HI)
  • Iowa (IA)
  • Washington (WA)

This is because these states require travel sellers to obtain specific registrations and maintain certain financial assurances before offering travel services to their residents. We are committed to compliance with all applicable laws and are working toward obtaining the necessary registrations to serve these states in the future.

Why These States Are Blocked

The states listed above have enacted Seller of Travel laws that require:

  • Registration with state authorities before offering travel services
  • Maintenance of surety bonds or trust accounts
  • Specific disclosures on websites and marketing materials
  • Payment of registration fees and ongoing compliance costs

As a startup platform focused on serving price-conscious travelers nationwide, we have made the decision to temporarily block bookings from these states rather than risk non-compliance with their complex regulatory requirements. We are actively working toward obtaining the necessary registrations to serve these states in the future.

Trust Account Disclosure

River City Hotel Group maintains customer funds in accordance with applicable state laws. For states that require a trust account or surety bond, we will maintain such accounts once registration is obtained. Customer payments for travel services are held securely and used solely for the purpose of fulfilling travel arrangements.
